Taking the animal by the horns.
Last week about 40 members Of the
Illinois legislature were requested, by
the Ohio 4 Mississippi railroad, to
return their annual passes, and were
notified that no passes would be rec
ognized after the first of April. The
same day a member introduced Il bill
reducing fares from three to two
cents. This is what may be called
taking the animal by the horns, or
illustrating the old saw that when
rogues fall out honest men may get
their dues. Let the free passes go
and we will have legislation in the in
terest of the people instead of that
favoring the monopolies. For a
quarter of a century the free pass has
been the lever that has moved legisla-
lures. State and national, and the
whole people should rejoice that its
DAYS are numbered.
Col Aldace f. Walker, New
England's representative on the In
ter-State railroad commission is a ma
tive of West Rutland. He graduated
at Middlebury college in 1862 and
entered the army as lieutenant in
the II Vermont regiment. He was
with the regiment through all its az
dous service and before the close of
the war had won the rank of lieuten-
ant colonel. He commanded his reg
iment during much of the Shenandoah
campaign and his army record is an
honorable and creditable one. He
was admitted to the bar in New
York city in 1867, where he practiced
till 1873 when he settled in Rutland,
where he has become recognized
leader of the Vermont bar, especially
in railroad matters. He is the father
of the railroad state commission, be-
ing the first to introduce a bill Of that
kind, which he did while a member of
the State Senate in 1882. He is
thoroughly alive to the rights of the
people as against monopolies, Of ster-
ling character and ability, and his APP
pointment is a deserved recognition OF
these rights and most happy one
not only for Vermont and New Eng.
land, but for the whole country.

Suggestion. tor the Tax Comm,

To the Editor Of the Republic:
There are some points in last evening
report Of the tax commission that mus
elicit critical comment throughout the com.
munity. How is il that the best sentiment
and most generous promptings of our per.
pie find 50 little expression from their rep

please call attention Ia one statement need

The mayors complimentary remark about
the public library being ''magnifcently
stocked with books" and having money in

preston to those unacquainted with the
facts. However well supplied
with books, II does not Vet

simply the legal business transaction of tax
officials, paying il into bank twice year
that il may be withdrawn 10 meet current
expenses.
By the way. how much longer must the
appreciative people of Springfield wait for
leadership in giving expression 10 their
gratitude TO Mr.. Warder. in some way
commensurate to his generous gifts? Strang-
ers regard with amazement this seeming
apathy and call il ingratitude. Let il not
